Employment of the Previously Incarcerated
Every year over 700,000 people return home from prison and jail, looking for an opportunity to rebuild their lives.
Nearly 95% of all those who go to prison or jail are released back to local communities across the country.
Within three years, nearly two-thirds of those who return home are likely to reoffend and cycle back into the criminal justice system.
Issues that impact recidivism:
Lack of Employment—Between 46% and 78% are unemployed within one year of release

Estimates range from 70%-85% of those leaving prison have a diagnosable substance use disorder that requires treatment.
